Yes, they made controls using
light water. No production
of 4He and excess heat in this case
(using that specific setup).

I'm still waiting for more informations
about Joule heating and cathodes
molten during the experimental runs.
The first response was: 'One could hardly
observe the melting of the stripe unless
the system is driven from nucleate to film
boiling. This transition occurs at 60 W/cm^2
and this, in our case, requires a specific
excess energy of 600 KW/cm^3. That melting 
cannot be attributed to Joule heating.'

Note that the research is still going on
and, as you can see, they are using more
refined techniques and they are also
fabricating special cathodes.
